The pile of finished postcards this year looks rat The pile of finished postcards this year looks rather different from what I usually make when it comes to postcards, but I enjoyed this process too. 😊

This year's DIY Postcards are little watercolor paintings, mostly portraits. They're definitely not layered and messy mixed media pieces, but if you want to see that kind of art visit my recent blog post as I've shared two flip-throughs of piles of previous years there now!  So much fun to look through them as all those postcards have been sent out a long time ago.

These ones are of course all headed out later this week as the DIY Postcard Swap that I host is now closed & all adresses emailed to participants. 💕 Next swap will be after the summer sometime, I'll keep you posted. ðŸŒ

To participants of the swap: If you can't find your addresses check the spam folder, then email me and I will get back to you asap. 💕 Thanks. ðŸ’🧡💘💖💛

Storing DIY Postcards in a small ring binder is SO Storing DIY Postcards in a small ring binder is SO handy if you ask me. 💕

Easy to store, re-sort, take out & flip-through too. 

How do you display and store your happy mail & DIY Postcards?

I covered a small ring binder (that used to be for the old kind of receipts I think) with pink corduroy fabric and love how it came out. In the past I've made ring-binders out of vintage book covers to store postcards in - search my blog if you want to know how, there's a video tutorial even.

DIY Postcard Swap Fun prompt of the day: what medi DIY Postcard Swap Fun prompt of the day: what mediums are you working with this year?

For me, it's watercolors this year.

 Usually it's either collage or acrylics or a combination of both, so to use watercolor paints as my main medium feels fun & fresh. I love watercolors so much, and will show some of my process soon. Also, my swap contributions are partly fueled by coffee. ☕

What are your favourite techniques or mediums to make DIY Postcards? Are you trying something new this year or going with a tried & well loved favorite of yours?

Reminder: the DIY Postcard Swap that I host is still open and you can read all about it & join on my blog (link in bio) if getting some happy mail is something that you need this spring! 💕

Collage fodder I made this week, painting on tissu Collage fodder I made this week, painting on tissue paper. 💕

I just realized I hoard tissue paper but rarely take it out to use it, so I am going to start right now, by enhancing these colored tissue papers with some fun mark making, cutting them up and making some new collages later on.

PS: You probably can't tell, but I'm a fan of pink & polka dots. But just a little! 😜😂💕
